Having graduated from Franklin High School, he was introduced to journalism and became a reporter for the Franklin Chronicle, the official newspaper for the campus. He grew to be interested in journalism and now plans to obtain a career as an investigative journalist. In his free time, Luis likes to draw, read, play video games, listen to music (a lot of music) and of course write. Ever since working with The Round Up, Luis has been only getting more excited about what awaits him in his journalistic career. As he continues to advance his skills in news writing and gain more experience, he hopes to meet expectations that were brought upon him in his new position.
